Back to school: Fair attracts students seeking to study in US
The United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) and Education USA organised a “Back to School” fair on Sunday to provide Pakistani students an opportunity to meet alumni from over 30 American colleges and universities.
Staff of the US embassy at the fair, representing their colleges and universities, answered students’ questions about studying in the United States, including the application process, campus life and student visa applications. USEFP advisers were on hand to answer questions and provide advice to prospective students and their parents.
Speaking on the occasion, US Embassy’s Cultural Attache‚ Judith Ravin, said “With Pakistani students in the United States we also enhance the diversity of our campuses.”
USEFP Executive Director Rita Akhtar said, “For some students, financial aid and scholarship options are available to make a US education especially affordable”.
Since most schools open this time of year, the fair was held to present information valuable to students starting the application process for US admissions. The fair enabled students and parents to learn more about application deadlines, admission requirements, and financial aid options.
